It was time for a few new photos of my 4 little black cats that I share my home with. As many of you know, I found each cat as a feral kitten and at different times. They are the biggest sweethearts ever!

﻿All four asleep on the bed

I used to work at a Museum in the Collection Department with the Textiles. If there were pieces that were too damaged to save, we tried to use them to conserve other pieces. If they were just too cute, like this little red baby boot, I occasionally got to take them home!

That little boot led to this next photo~my little cat Tobias wearing it on his left foot! I am holding him on my lap and did my best to take a photo. Oh, so funny! Puss n Boots!

EEK! A close up of his little foot! I will get a better photo!

Hehe~this is Glastonbury Mister aka "Mr. Baby". He is the baby of the family. He likes to sleep in the bed with his head on the pillow and the covers up to his neck. This makes me laugh all the time!

Finally, here it Tobias! He was wearing the boots! What a face! While he is a black cat, you can see that he really is more a chocolate brown. Love these kittens! I guess I should try to get back to work!

Before the end of 2012, I took photographs with the theme of "The Holly and The Ivy" based on an Old English Song now sung by the talented group of female singers, The Medieval Baebes. I was inspired by the lyrics to this song referring to the Holly Berry and the Ivy Leaf which both bloom in the cold and white of Winter. I was so lucky to find a forest green silk velvet gown that was handmade as a Wedding gown by a woman in the 1930s. I also added a gorgeous necklace and pair of earrings made by the talented Christina Allen Page of Sihaya Designs Jewelry

Words from Writer, Painter DJ Berger, Click His Painting to His blog

Above is an unbelievable portrait that artist and writer, DJ Berger, did of me in his own stylist manner. I love it so much because I feel like for the first time, someone has finally seen and then recreated how I see myself-so rare. He is so talented in many ways. He also works with many other mediums. Truly a wonderful friend, he is also hilarious with a wonderful wit and sense of humour as well as being so thoughtful. Thank you for these beautiful words you wrote to describe me-they mean a lot to a misfit like me! "I'll have to take my positives where I find them. One of which arrived this week, when my crazy (seriously) but wonderful friend Rowan sent me her half of an art exchange. Rowan lives -- in her head, in her heart -- in an alternative landscape ... an ancient place of whispering hills and magical forests, where doomed Indian princesses and discarded brides wander weeping from dead lovers and ruined towers."
